lmao. as if the ai was gonna have a better carbon footprint than the small plastic thing you replace every 5-10 years
The post below this one in my feed is “Microsoft’s carbon emissions up by 30% due to ai”
Apple Pay/Google Pay already exists though?? What's new?
The last credit card I got, it took me like a month or two to bother unpacking the physical card since right after signup I could already add the virtual card to Apple Pay through the bank app and I just used that.
They’ll try to pull out of Apple Pay/Google Pay. At least that’s what Walmart did / is doing for the longest time in favor of their CurrenC or whatever thing in the US.
If a title asks a question, the answer is always "no". No?
Betteridge’s Law.
Generally proves deeply true.
Within a decade, you’ll likely access all of your cards with one credential and choose which payment method you’d like to use. That includes not just credit and debit cards, but also buy now, pay later options and direct payments from your bank account.
Visa is rolling out technology that will allow you to tap your card on your smart device to add it to your wallet. You’ll also be able to tap your card to your phone to confirm a transaction without needing to input any additional information.

So like almost any tap to pay system?
Shit I was doing this stuff with GPay for years.

This is just PayPal.
yeah I never go to the grocery store with more than a bag and a phone...
Wow we really are marching right to towards a centralised digital currency with no privacy and no actually ownership.
Remember back in the day when owning stock meant u owned the actually stocks. Well now u own the right to the stocks but if the platform ur trading on goes under welp out of luck guess u don't actually own them.
You will own nothing and be happy.
What? That's not true. That's what SIPC is for. Just like if a bank goes under and it's FDIC insured, then you're fine.

SPIC lmao. They might want to rethink that acronym.
It's actually SIPC - the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, so there aren't any abbreviation problems.
Oops! Dyslexia lol. My bad.
Is there an AI technology that would help me not roll my eyes every time I hear AI? Can’t wait to add this to the garbage pile of popped bubbles next to NFT, blockchain and metaverse.
And I’m saying that as somebody who uses LLMs for work regularly, it is a useful tool, but the absolute delusional bullshit hype that imagines uses beyond its capabilities is exhausting.
LLM is amazing tech, but holy fuck I can't wait to get out of this bubble. Some of these applications sound like when they put radium in butter in the 50's, because atomic energy was so hype.
Pretty much this. It's the radium craze, or the ozone craze, or a whole bunch of other fads - everything has to have AI/LLMs integrated in some way or it's not "interesting" to shareholders.
lol for fucks sake this is so deeply stupid
